    Didn't know there was a fluoride debate. I thought it was needed for healthy teeth. It's been added to the water I've been drinking for over 40 years, but never heard of a debate.
    you have to actually look. theirs plenty of debate but your not going to find it on fox or cnn.

    No, i get the studies from my wife, the Yale educated Phd in Biology, and they've concluded there are no negative health impacts of fluoride in water. Which studies are you talking about? Again, you are making the claims, you show the evidence.
    well good thing i live right down from yale. so what about how some places are trying to get it passed to put lithium in our water. what about that then? got another witty comback or are people going to learn how to grow up and have a debate without taking something personally.

    i live next to a garage. does that make me an expert on cars?

    look, you are obviously wrong. just cut your loses and let the thread die. get your own eating issues under control, and then you can quietly roll your eyes at people putting in 7 splendas in their caramel macchiato.

    Whoa. Before you start telling people to grow up, I'd check your attitude. Chill. Seriously.

    but its just crazy how people dont realize that its bad, but justify that its not as bad as something else there for its acceptable. if your not fully committed why even bother?
    So because I eat the occasional splurge item and use Splenda here and there I shouldn't have bothered? How thin is the air up there on your high horse?
    You should not have - because losing those 137 lb (well done btw) had absolutely no benefit to you health wise due to that Splenda you occasionally had did it? :wink:

    I'm trying to have the debate, but you continue to claim all this evidence as to the harms of "unnatural" foods, and yet you have not provided one peer reviewed study. What does living in New Haven, Ct have anything to do with the expert testimony of someone with a Phd in biology?

    all im trying to say is that there is always a natural better alternative. i never said cut out all sugar, or dont eat fats. make it be good fats,there are plenty. i just had a piece of chocolate, but a natural one. at 88% for more of a health bennifit. i get treats all the time form the natural market down the street, cookies and cupcakes that are made from unbleached unprocessed items.

    I think the people who have already said 'mind your own beeswax' are saying what I'm thinking. But your own reply is worth looking at - I think you have your answer if you would just look hard enough.

    You go over other diaries or judge people at the food court and see them eating things that you would never choose, yet you have NO WAY of knowing if they really wanted to have 2 cheeseburgers but made the choice to have only 1. Maybe they really wanted to have the banana split for lunch but went for the sub with extra mayo instead. How can you know? Maybe the lady who is eating the salad hasn't eaten for 2 days because she is afraid to gain half a pound if she has a taco.

    I pick friends on MFP because they believe they are making healthier changes and because they encourage me to do the same. I don't ever comment on diaries - don't even look at diaries because I have no way of knowing. I carry enough guilt about some of my choices, I don't need a friend to add to that - and I sure don't want to discourage someone because they aren't doing things the way I think they should.

    flouride debate or not the point of this site is about support. Your way isnt everyones way. Its not about the debate...its how you presented it as an accusation. You put yourself on a high horse from the get go. Maybe take a few psych courses at yale and learn to be more sociable before you start a 'debate' as you call it.

    Well.. health is more then losing weight. I'm way healthier then a lot of my friends who weigh less then me and there are those who weigh more then me and are healthier then me. of course you can lose weight and still eat junk. Creating a calorie deficit is all it takes. If you're trying to get healthy it involves way more then losing weight. that's one small aspect of it. Of course having crap once in a while won't hurt you in the long run, but having it often will, even if you are losing weight. that's the point. why are you gonna complain that you can't lose weight or you feel like crap when you eat crap all the time? No one is perfect. No one eats completely clean. But if you eat the fried fatty crap, don't complain when you get sick, can't lose weight or feel like crap. Right? Of course those responding here are not the ones complaining.

    Any anyway.. if I am eating that crappy i'll gladly let people point it out.

    If you are recovering from an eating disorder is there any chance that your thinking on this subject is off a little??? Since I have over a hundred pounds to lose I will do whatever works for me. That includes splenda and an occasional treat. I bake for my husband who is diabetic with splenda. Dr. recommended. Once I get the weight off then I will concentrate on keeping it off. Your energies would be better spent concentrating on your own journey.

    Well, my guess would be that not everyone here has the same goals. Some just want to lose weight. Some want to get healthy. Some want to get fit. The all or nothing mentality does not work for everyone. I personally eat pretty healthy most of the time, but still eat fast food occasionally or cake or whatever. Moderation.

    but its just crazy how people dont realize that its bad, but justify that its not as bad as something else there for its acceptable. if your not fully committed why even bother?

    Are you suggesting that if someone isn't going to be perfect they shouldn't do anything at all? Studies have shown consistently that there are health benefits to losing 10% of one's weight. That means if someone who weighs 250 (who wants to weigh 150) loses 25 pounds, he or she has made real progress towards being healthier, in terms of cholesterol, blood sugar, heart health, blood pressure, weight on legs/feet.

    If the person cuts back on foods and habits that are unhealthy, then they're taking positive strides. I admire that.
  • and i never even looked at anybodys diary. i just made observations from people talking here. but cool go look at mine i dont care. so why would anyone get offended that i "might have" looked and this is where im getting my information?

    Half of your diary is "quick added" calories.

    At least we are being honest about what we are eating.

    (honestly I don't care what you put in your diary, I'm just making a point....glass houses)

    thats actually because almost everything i eat is home made and i cant be bothered to list out every single ingrediant. i eat mutiple meals a day. every 3-4 hours and cant spend all that time logging eerything. i add it up and scan everything else that i can.

    BUT IF YOU'RE NOT FULLY COMMITTED TO LOGGING WHY BOTHER BEING ON THIS SITE AT ALL

    I MEAN COME ON, GEEZ.
    /sarcasm

    ...See the problem with that logic? :P
